It looks like they are planning to introduce X-Trail this quarter. I have seen the reviews and it looks like a decent SUV with 7-seat.

This car is on my shortlist.

I have read up some reviews on the 2014 X-trail. It seems the 7-seater is a bit too squeezy for the last row. Basically sacrifice the boot space for the last row seats. And the last row seats doesn't seems to meant for adult. At most, children or kids.

Design wise, it's definitely nicer and more appealing than its predecessor X-Trail. More of a hybrid design between qashai and Murano.. More sporty..

Yep.. Fully agree with that. The last row seats simply defeats the whole purpose of a SUV. If I were to carry 7 pax, I may jolly well get a MPV instead. When I saw the review on 2014 X-Trail, 7 seater, I was not impressed at all. The guy doing the review had a hard time "squeezing" into the last row and even stuck when trying to get out. :)

And with the last row in, the boot space is simply gone. I guess SUV can never be used as a MPV. For me, just keep it as a SUV, forget about the the last row. That will be wonderful.. :)

Just curious, if you flatten the last row do you think there would be lesser space than if there were no last row at all?

My opinion is that the difference in space would be insignificant, but there would be the added flexibility of having 2 seats for young kids. Safer for the kids too.

And btw SUV not really for off-roads lah, at least not the usual suspects we talking about. And we could definitely flatten the last row if need to.

I popped in for a look...no time to test drive though. Equipment fit is good. Better than Outlander. It has second row aircon. But 3rd row very cramped. Even hobbits will find it cramp. The seats are very comfortable though with both driver and passenger getting electric adjustable seats. Price is about 145k.

The looks have been revised to a new Nissan family fascia, aggressive looks, well balance from the external look. The height have been raised a little bit higher from the predecessor, which you can conquer any curb ( if you really need to...... » Read More

Owned this car for a little over a week. The exterior is masculine with flowing lines. The drive is good & so is passenger comfort. The 3rd row seats for occasional extra passenger comes in useful.
